Saiyan System (English)

Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Problems...



My thoughts began to wander through my head, outwardly I was just looking out of the car, but internally, everything was a mess.

Who the hell am I?

Why did this system come to me? After all, so many people die every day, but I've never heard of anyone dying and getting a system in real life.

[Ding]

[Answering the host's question, the system itself doesn't know, in the system's memories there is only the memory of wandering through the rivers of time and space, and being attracted by the host at the time of its death]

Well, that explains something... absolutely NOTHING, what am I supposed to do with this information!?

[Ding]

[The system just answered the host's question]

Argh... All right, all right, this is going to lead to nothing.

"Mom... do you have anything to tell me about yourself?" There's no point in dwelling on the questions, and there's no need to worry about asking anything, after all, it's my mother, I don't need to be suspicious or afraid of her.

My mother didn't answer me straight away, she was silent for some time, which I waited for anxiously.

"Ikaris... we'll talk at home, okay?" My mother said in a low tone of voice, she seemed to have guessed what I had discovered.

I sighed, settling into the passenger seat. "Mom... have you ever killed anyone?"

The silence in the car became suffocating. She kept driving, as if she hadn't heard. But I knew she had.

Pressing her lips together, she finally answered:

"I do what's necessary, Ikaris."

That wasn't a denial.

My thoughts began to spin. I had always known my mother to be a strong, independent and sometimes intimidating woman. But now? Knowing that she had abilities reminiscent of those of an assassin or something similar? it changed everything.

Before I could question her further, another system notification popped up...

---------------------------------------------

Some time later...

Rose pov.

We're almost home, I'm tired... I've been very tired since yesterday.

I'm upset, yesterday I found out that my son died because he reacted to a robbery? I almost started crying like a child in front of my son who, ironically enough, looked like a child at the time.

I won't deny that I really thought it was a ghost, because I recognized him... I knew that was my son, and seeing him as a child saying that he had reacted to a robbery... I felt my blood run cold at that moment.

And then, out of nowhere, a completely senseless turn of events.

Ghosts? OK, I've lived with this sort of thing before, but my God, a saiyan???

I wasn't expecting that, I only started to believe it when I saw his tail, and at that moment all my instincts screamed "DANGER", damn it.

Then came the news that my son would die if he didn't turn into a giant monkey, haha... how funny, damn the world.

I still have some equipment from my past, I would obviously never leave my son alone in the middle of nowhere on the BR, so I watched from afar with a drone.

What did I see? God, my fear was right, the mass destruction that giant ape had wrought was terrifying.

If I had simply let it turn into the city... I'm not even sure I would have been unharmed, but someone would definitely have died.

Honestly, yes, I was afraid of my son now, although I know that Ikaris is harmless to me, that power... I can only say that I saw it once, because of that man.

And now the same power has appeared in my son, god, what an irony of fate.

Finally, just as I was starting to process everything, I felt Ikaris' gaze on me, and it felt as if all my secrets had been exposed.

And the funny thing is, they were! Haha, I'm going to go crazy

I could only sigh, at least we're getting home... we have a lot to talk about...

....

--------------------------------

Ikaris pov

You know, it's funny how quickly I forgot about my tutorial mission because of my mother.

Hours passed and we finally arrived home. I was exhausted, physically and mentally. The transformation into Oozaru, and now this growing doubt about my own family.

My mother seemed calm, but there was something different about her. She didn't say anything the whole way, which was strange, since she was always the type to strike up a conversation to fill the silence. When we entered the house, she went straight to the kitchen without saying a word.

I sat on the sofa, staring at nothing. Everything seemed unreal. First, I died. Then I turned into a child with Saiyan powers. And now... it seemed that my mother was some kind of retired assassin or something even more bizarre.

"If I'm not normal, maybe she isn't either... but that also means there could be more going on behind all this," I whispered to myself.

[Mission granted]

[Investigate origin of abilities of NPC "Rose Oliveira"]

[Rewards: Stealth lvl1]

[Ding]

[Mission granted]

[Check system logs for entities connected to the host's resurrection].

[Reward: 1500pts]

"Investigate the origin of her abilities? What kind of system wants me to look into my own mother's life?" I protested loudly.

"Talking to yourself already, Ikaris? Is everything all right with you?" my mother asked from the kitchen, a slight tone of irony in her voice.

"Yes, yes, everything's fine!" I shouted back, a little too quickly.

My heart was racing. I wanted answers, but confronting her directly seemed too risky. And to make matters worse, the latest system update brought something even more intriguing: entities connected to the host's resurrection.

"This is only getting more complicated..."

....

I sat facing my mother at the same table where I'd had breakfast the day before, now with an extra person, my stepfather.

"Ikaris... you need to know a few things about me, and I need to talk to you about your system." My mother spoke calmly, but there was an unquestioning tone in her voice.

"Are you sure you're going to tell him Rose?" My stepfather Rodrigo was doubtful, but he didn't ask about the system, apparently he already knew...

My mother tapped her fingernail on the table, drawing my attention to her.

"All right, let's start with my past, you must have noticed something very... different about me, I don't know what kind of functionality your system has for checking me out, but it doesn't change the fact that you exposed me." My mother was visibly anxious, it didn't sound like something she wanted to talk about.

"In our family, we've always been very wealthy, which led to me being kidnapped when I was 7, well, like you did yesterday, I reacted the moment I could get rid of it, I attacked my kidnappers."

"One of my kidnappers was a... special person, and she noticed in me a talent different from ordinary people, she took me to an organization where I began my training for assassination and espionage."

My mother paused for a moment and gave a smile to the air, as if recalling good memories, while I was somewhat shocked, what the fuck? How come I never found out about this????

Continuing, my mother became serious again "In this organization I did a lot of work, I went back to my parents, but at the time of classes I was missing to go to training, and that's how I met your stepfather, he's one of the members of the organization" my stepfather nodded slowly.

Okay, fine, I thought my stepfather was just aware of my mother's past, but now he's part of it??? What's going on?

All right, Ikaris, calm down, I can tell from your mother's status that all this is true... HOLY SHIT, IT'S ALL TRUE!

"Well, your father... he has nothing to do with it, in fact I met him at school when I was 16, we fell in love and finally had you when I was 18, but you already know that," my mother said calmly. All right, at least one part of my life is normal...

I breathed a sigh of relief when my mother, looking as stoic as possible, began to say, "Well, it would be normal if your father wasn't a reincarnated god."

"Enough, it's too much for me, I can't go on with this conversation, mom." I couldn't take any more surprises, just what was HAPPENING?

A few seconds passed when my mother and stepfather started laughing wildly "HAHAHAHA, MY GOD, YOUR FACE WAS INCREDIBLE" My stepfather couldn't stop laughing and started banging on the table.

Okay, fine, I admit that I fell for it as an idiot, but can you give me a break? These two days had been a storm of change in my head, even if it was an extremely obvious and poorly thought-out joke, it would have made a lot of sense if my father had created the system.

"Well, so far that's as much as I can reveal to you, sorry son, but there's a lot of secret information in this, and you never know if there are ears on our walls." My mother leaned back in her chair, visibly relaxing until she shot a sharp look at me, which honestly almost made me shout "FUCK YOU!"

"hehe..." I gave a half-hearted smile, waiting for what my mother was going to say next, I just want to get out of here soon and go to my room to rest... for God's sake.

My mother sighed, and spoke in an extremely calm tone "Tell me how your system is checked, and what information it reveals about me."

"That's it? Fine." I thought my mother was going to lecture me about using the system, but that's all she wanted to know? Then fine.

"Check"

[Ding]

This time when the screen appeared in front of me, I selected the three dots in the skills, and a list of skills appeared in front of me

...

A huge list of skills appeared in front of me, and my only reaction was: INCREDIBLE!

"ahem" I gave a dry cough, and looked at my mother. "Er... in the system, I can see your name, your fighting power based on dragon ball, and all your skills distributed by level..."

My mother looked a little surprised, but in a good way, since as soon as I said that, she smiled.

------------------------------

A while later in my room.

I was sitting in my chair staring at the ceiling, remembering what my mother had told me about the system... well, I was honestly surprised.

Apart from telling me to be careful, and not to go spreading information randomly, she was simply curious about your stats, which had left her very disappointed haha, the look on her face was incredible when she heard that my fighting power was greater than hers.

And that brings up a few questions.

"System, why did my fighting power increase after I became Oozaru?" 

[Ding]

[The host's fighting power increased because of the integration with the skill, and the racial blending that took place, causing the host's body to be rebuilt during the transformation].

"I see, that's why I felt so much pain when I started transforming..." Honestly, I was thinking of never transforming into Oozaru again if I had to endure that pain again, but if that's the case, it's fine

[Ding]

[The system recommends that the host finish the tutorial mission as quickly as possible]

"Ahh yes, I'd forgotten about that, so many things going on at once... well, open the mission screen again so I can see what's on it."

"Humm, all that's left is the training missions from the tutorial, and checking the records, well, since that's the case, let's test my new strength, HA!" With an impulse I threw myself out of my chair, towards the door... I must say that luckily I didn't use too much force... I hit the wall head on.

"Aiii, damn, I didn't think I was that strong... well, that's 15 times stronger than when I didn't have the system, so it makes sense haha" I started laughing at myself, when my stomach started rumbling and I grimaced.

"Yeah, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday" So off we go to prepare something to eat.

....

??? Pov

"My God, it's hard to imagine that a being like this appeared right under our noses..." 

This was a group of people dressed in lab coats and suits staring at a television screen showing images of a giant monkey releasing lightning from its mouth and destroying a mountain.

"Somebody explain to me how the hell that happened!" A man in a military suit burst into the room where these people were watching the video shouting, obviously unhappy that a threat of such level had appeared and no one knew how.

"General! Sir, we can't get any information on where such an anomaly came from, apparently the satellite images were blocked moments before the anomaly appeared."

The general frowned, although annoyed, he knew that this meant only one thing, someone was covering up and protecting the anomaly... perhaps this thing is just a test, since it was released in a land far from humans.

Perhaps an experiment with SCP 3602, but it's strange, the specimens are properly contained, and there have been no escapes or disappearances in recent years.

The more he thought about it, the more worried the General became, no matter what it was, this was very bad, if this anomaly was released in a city the result would be devastating, simply devastating!

"Keep an eye out in case this anomaly appears again, and research ways to contain it, there's plenty of genetic material left behind by this monster's saliva, research everything you can!" The general raised his cold eyes to everyone in the room, there were the main commanders, and researchers from the foundation, if there was anyone who could help contain the anomaly, it would be there.

"Until then, I designate this anomaly as an A variant of SCP-3602, with a Purple threat level!" The general said this and left the room with a serious expression, behind him could only be heard the shouts "Understood, General!".

Meanwhile, a few hours had passed, and a boy of apparently 10 had just finished a run in front of the door of his building.

Ikaris POV

"Arrrrgh, I've finally finished, my god, I'm so strong, why can't I take this yet???" 

[Ding]

[The presence of the new bloodline and the Ki changes the host's overall strength, increasing his physical qualities to a certain extent, but because of the host's former sedentary lifestyle, his cardiovascular system and other parts of his body are extremely atrophied in relation to his overall physique, according to the system's calculations, if the host were fit, his current fighting power would be 47, exercise is recommended]

Ah...

Got it, damn it, I so want to punch myself now, why did I have to be so lazy... what a drag.

"Well, there's not much I can do, just work out now to transform my body..." I went into my building, and up to my apartment, when I entered there was no one there, it was 6pm, normally they would pick up my little brother from school at that time.

"Yep, all right then, let's see these rewards!" I grabbed a coconut doughnut from the kitchen cupboard, then threw myself on the sofa.

Without even thinking for a second, I pressed S and felt a new piece of information in my head.

It was as if all the processes of how to perceive Ki, how to feel it, how to use it, and how to train it suddenly appeared in my head; in a way, I was now a complete master of the theoretical question of Ki.

[Your rewards have been claimed, to get the items open your inventory]

I didn't look at the inventory straight away, but opened the masters tab.

Well, what could I do? I don't plan to spend these points just yet, and I'm not even injured enough to use the senzu beans.

"Masters!"

[Ding]

Masters ->

Kuririn (Available)

"Let me train with the Kuririn system!" I was excited, seeing the bald Warrior Z in real life is like a dream come true... although I honestly would have preferred it to be Goku, or Trunks from the future.

[Ding]

[Creating training space]

[Attention, moving host's mind into virtual space]

Suddenly I saw the world around me darken, it felt like I was fainting, and when I opened my eyes, I was faced with a plain, and in front of me was a bald man about my height looking at me with a smile.

"So you'll be my disciple? All right, from the way you're looking around, and your physical build, you don't seem to have any fighting experience, let's go with the basics."

Suddenly Kuririn came running at me at such a speed that I was startled, damn, I really didn't see that one coming, the good thing is that I only got a scare... a slight scare... I definitely didn't let out a scream, and curl up in a fetal position with my hands protecting my head... definitely not...
